To be good company for yourself,
you must store your mind we'll; tiiI
it with happy and pure thoughts.
with pleasant memories of the past
and reasonable hopes for the future.
You must. so far as may be, protect
yourself from self-reproach, from
care, and from anxiety. Be careful,
then. how you choose your thoughts.
You cannot keep your minds pure il
you allow them to dwell on detailed
accounts of crime and sin; the soul
is dyed by its own thoughts. Peace
of mind, as Ruskin beautifully OH
serves, must come in its own time,
as the waters settle themselves into
clearness as well as quietness you
can no more filter your mind into
purity than you can compress II into
calmness you must keep it pure If
you would have it pure, and throw
no stones into it if you would have
1t quiet.

THE HAND OF GOD.
blnsphemcr Curses His Creator and is
Stricken with Paralysis.

DOUGLAS, GA, january TT hope
that God may parulyze me" were the
words spoken by William Burkett. At
once his hands dropped to his side, his
legs refused to move and his eyes rolled
wildly around. His prayer was answered
as he stood parlyzed on the spot where
but lew minutes before he was a mag
nlticent type OF physical manhood. He
trlcd to speak, but his tongue would not
move. Half dozen mon, who were
present, were rendered motionless by
the evident visitation of the hand Of
! COD. When they recovered self-pos-
session they tenderly moved the afflicted
man to his residence, half mile dis.
taut. When Miss Rhody Burkett saw
the plight in which her father was
brought home she screamed and tainted.
and died a few days later.
For years Mr. Burkett had boen tho
fcrryman as the Hawkinsville road cross
ing Of the Ocmulgec River. He was of
giant physique, with long gray locks,
and became especially noted because of
the brace of revolvers which he kept
strapped to his waist. Ho was a great
hunter, and the ferry being in tho
midst OF q swamp, he was convenient to
an abundance of game. From those
WHO nVcd around INN 1t is learned that
nc was toarfully profanc. Whenever ho
sighted game and was called ctt from it
by an alarm from the ferry he would
pour out such volloy of oaths as would
make tho flesh of ordinary mon crawl.
1t was while in ono of these profano
spells that he cursed his Creator, and
wound up with the expression above
quoted.
me news soon spread through tho
country, and scores Of people called to
sec the victim. He was at first com
pletoly ,prostrated, but subsequently was
enabled to take IL few steps, whom he
would fall. When spoken to he replies
III an inarticulate humble, and aots in
the most idiotic manner. The physicians
can ascnoe no natural cause for his
aiiilctlon, but admit that it is visitation
OF God. Tho preachers in the neigh
borhood have used the incident in their
sermons with great effect.

INDUSTRY OF THE SOUTH.

The Marvellous Progress of tho Ycar
i8SG-It SurpiiSSes any Toar, Even of the
Lust Wonderful Decade.
In its annual review OF the industrial
progress Of the South, the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record says that 1886
was the most remarkable year in many
respects i'll the history of the Southern
States, and more accomplished for the
prosperity and progress of the whole
South than ever before in any year.
This is shown in the enormous invest
mcnts of capital in industrial enterprises
and in the growth OF confidence among
Northern and European investors in the
stability of the South's iron and other
manufacturing interests.
The amount of capital, including the
capital stock of incorporated companies,
represented by new manufacturing and
mining enterprises organized or char.
tered at the South during 1886, includ.
ing tho enlargement of old plants and
the rebuilding of mills, aggregates $l29,
10000, $GG, G,S12,000 in 1885, divided
among States, as follows:

THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
What the state OF South Carolina Has
Done for their Support. ...l

What the state of South Carolina Has
Done for their support. ...
South Carolina furnished moro soldiers
to the armies of the late Confederacy, in
proportion to her white population, than
any State in the Confederation of seced-
ing States, which is, however, only
natural, considering the fact that seaas-.
sion had its birth in her borders. Eae
has also done less toward relieving her
manned and wounded soldiers than any
Southern State. This is, perhaps, owing
to the fact that the State was longer un-
der the control of tho carpet-bag regime
than other States and that she was prob
ably the worst-plundored State in the
South under that plundering regime.
Soon after war; when tho first Legisla-
turo met under Governor Orr and be-
tore tho enfranchisement of tho blacks,
an Act was passed providing for the fur
nlshing, of artificial limbs for those of
her soldiers who had lost q leg or an
arm IN the service. Under this ACT dis
abled soldiers received from $1OO to
$2Oo each, the necessary funds being
appropriated annually. It is to the
credit of tho carpet-bag Government
that this appropriation, about $4,000
annually, was never withheld.
"hCo pllo SoNSTuLlSuC reverted to the
whites by the revolution Of 1876 an at
tempt was mado to provide pensions for
the disabled soldiers, but the State was
too poor, and the one-armed and one
legged Confederate soldiers in the Leg
iislature were always tho most strenuous
IN opposing the measure. Every year
since 1876 half-dozen or more Acts have
beon passed appropriating specific sums
ranging from $25 to 5000 to manned or
disabled Confederate soldiers, each Act
being, however, a specific appropriation
for an individual named. No general
pension Act has ever been passed. At
the recent session, which closed on De-
cember "a an Act was passed enlarging
the provisions of what is known as tho
Artificial Limb Act, and extending it's
benefits to persons who have resided in
the State for ten years, whether they
were natives or not. This is about all
that has ever b, en- done for the manned
soldiers of the State
